A CONNOISSEUR’S EYE

Michael Foster Ltd.

The Personal Collection of the late Michael & Margaret Susands

TO BE OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

LOTS 500-808

Of all the many antiques dealers in London during the 1970s to the early 2000s, Michael Foster Ltd. epitomised style, character and quality in a way that only very few managed to achieve. They specialised in 18th and early 19th Century furniture and had a true understanding of intrinsic merit together with a rigorous approach to authenticity, and further an appreciation of patina as can be seen in this collection, and in the pages of the Grosvenor House year books.

Michael Foster Ltd was the business of Michael and Margaret Susands (née Foster – hence the name). They had premises at 118 Fulham Road for 30 years from where they operated, and sold pieces of exceptional appeal. They exhibited annually at the Grosvenor House Antiques Fair and their client list bulged with the top names of industry, international society figures, actors and even sports personalities. As the pictures show the Royal Family were no strangers to their stand!

From their Chelsea base, they also built up a wonderful collection of furniture, silver, glass, ceramics and pictures. Their house was a veritable treasure trove and was a testament to their love of their profession. The collection on show today demonstrates their unswerving standards and of course their knowledge. They really were arbiters of taste.

Catalogue Note

See Victoria & Albert Museum, Accession No. C.103­1965 for an identical example.

These plates were for a long time attributed to the Delftfield pottery in Glasgow, on the basis of the crest belonging to Murray of Polnaise. However, in an article in Volume 23 of the Transactions of the ECC, George Haggarty and James Gray discuss the lack of sherd evidence and suggest a new attribution of Delamain’s Dublin factory. The crest relates to a number of English and Irish families, among them O’Byrne from Co. Wicklow.

EXPORTING YOUR PROPERTY FROM THE UK

If you are exporting your property, import taxes, customs duties and other fees may apply at the country of destination. It is also your responsibility to ensure that your shipment can be lawfully imported to the destination country.

Please note that due to the withdrawal of the Retail Export Scheme by HMRC, we are unable to provide VAT refund documentation (C88) for hand­carried exports.

In order to qualify for a VAT refund, your lots must be exported by a shipper and valid export documentation must be provided.

PAYMENT AND CLEARANCE

Payment is due immediately after the auction in pounds sterling. If you are a first time buyer we will need your name, address and bank details and will require funds to be cleared before purchases can be released.

The following methods of payment may be made:

Bacs, debit and credit cards

Wire transfers should be sent to:

Lloyds Bank plc, Blue Boar Row, Salisbury SP1 1DB. Account no. 00957707

Sort code 30­97­41

IBAN no. GB20LOYD30974100957707

BIC code LOYDGB21063

Debit and Credit cards: Visa, Mastercard, Amex or Union Pay.

Where practical, payment can be made and purchases collected during the auction.

We reserve the right to add storage charges to all lots not collected within 30 calendar days of the sale. This will include a handling fee of £20 (+ VAT) per consignment and a storage charge of £2 (+ VAT) per lot per day. No goods will be allowed to be collected until these charges have been paid.

LOT SYMBOLS

VAT

Lots marked with an dagger (†) are subject to VAT on the hammer price. Lots marked with an omega (Ω) have been temporarily imported from outside the EU and are subject to VAT at 5% on the hammer price and the buyer’s premium. In online catalogues, the Sales Tax % column indicates the rate of VAT on hammer price.

CITES REGULATIONS

Please note that lots marked λ may be subject to CITES Regulations when exported.

The CITES Regulations may be found at www.defra.gov.uk/ahvlaen/imports­exports/cites/

ARTIST’S RESALE RIGHT / DROIT DE SUITE

Lots marked with a Φ symbol are potentially subject to a levy.

Droit de Suite is a royalty payable to a qualifying artist or the artist’s heirs each time a work is resold during the artist’s lifetime and up to a period of 70 years after the artist’s death.

Royalties are calculated on a sliding percentage scale based on the hammer price excluding the buyer’s premium. The royalty does not apply to lots selling below £1,000 and the maximum royalty payable on any single lot is £12,500.

Droit de Suite, which is not subject to VAT, will be added to the buyer’s purchase price and then passed on to the relevant collecting agency.

Royalties for Droit de Suite are as follows:

4% Up to £50,000

3% £50,000.01 ­ 200,000

1% £200,000.01 ­ 350,000

0.5% £350,000.01 ­ 500,000

0.25% In excess of £500,000

Up to a maximum levy of £12,500

FIREARMS

Lots marked Ƒ in the catalogue, or by any other means identified as controlled firearms, are subject to the UK firearms/shotgun licencing regime, and should only be viewed/purchased by individuals with appropriate licences. It is the responsibility of the bidders to ensure that they are legally authorised to acquire the lot that they are bidding for. In the event that such a lot is successfully bid for by an individual who is not authorised to possess it, that individual will be required to pay for it, but will not be allowed to take physical possession of it. The auctioneers will re­offer the lot on behalf of the buyer in a future auction; or may accept instructions to dispose of it by some other legal means, at their discretion.

VALUATIONS

Valuations are a core part of our business and are usually carried out by a senior specialist or directors. Accuracy, speed and above all confidentiality are paramount.

INSURANCE VALUATIONS

Written valuations for insurance can vary from a single item to a large estate. Before starting we discuss the various options available so that the valuation is specifically tailored to individual client’s needs.

For valuations of an entire house contents an itemised bound valuation is produced and can be accompanied by photographs when required. In addition to providing an inventory, written valuations can prevent painful arguments with a loss adjuster in the event of a claim.

Woolley & Wallis valuations are accepted by all leading insurance companies.

PROBATE VALUATIONS

We offer a speedy and professional service for executors and trustees and provide bound valuations for probate and duplicate copies when required. Since security is often a consideration, we can usually arrange for a house to be cleared and sent for auction, our Valuations Department ensures that executors are informed of which sales are involved and the results thereof.

We also carry out valuations for Family Division, Capital Gains Tax, and Private Treaty Sales.
